Nothing too exciting to report this week. Once again I didn’t make time to plan anything for next week so I just kind of went with the usual. No fruit this week due to an abundance of bananas and strawberries… it kind of feels incredibly wrong buying strawberries at this time of year but dang…

Farmers Market 1/31/13
While I continue to get caught up on things here is the farmers market haul from last week. I went light on veggies simply because I didn’t get a chance to plan meals for the week. Which is sometimes good because it forces me to get a bit creative use up everything. I found some…
Farmers Market 11/1/12
Back at the market this week. I didn’t go last week because I felt like I had just enough produce to get through another week. It was a creative stretch but I think we fared okay. I’m not sure if the expense evens out over the weeks or not but I definitely spent more than…
Farmers Market 10/18/12
The fruit I picked up today kind of strikes me. It just doesn’t seem right that I can buy peaches, watermelon, and grapes straight from the farmers market. California growing seasons never cease to amaze, nor the sheer access I have to so many different fruits and veggies because of my geographical location. I mean…
Farmers Market 9/20/12
It was a nice surprise to find organic raspberries for $1 a basket! Hence, the flat! I don’t have an immediate use for them so most are going to be frozen to use for baking down the road. Om nom nom. Valencia oranges Yellow peaches Nectarines Raspberries! Nothing terribly exciting in the veggie department. Didn’t…
Farmers Market 8/16/12
California is most certainly having an amazing fruit this summer. The cantaloup I picked up last week was like liquid sugar. And the peaches are out of the world right now. Hence why I picked up quite a few more… though half of those are going in a tart. Yellow peaches Red plums And in…
Farmers Market 6/28/12
Ended up at the market much later in the day than I normally go and wow, lots of people! But then again it is summer and not many people want to be at the market at 9am. It was nice to see a few new things… corn has finally made it to market. I also…
Farmers Market 6/14/12
Oh summer fruits, I can no longer say no to you. What can I say, the fruit keeps getting better and better. Which also means I’m spending a bit more $$ to have these fruits but I’ve come to the conclusion that it is worth it since I will be gone for the month of…
Farmers Market 5/3/12
Good day at the market despite not really having much of a game plan for things. So I went for a little of this and a little of that. Radishes are new this week and I was happy to find some green garlic. Citrus season is winding down fast so I only came home with…
Farmers Market 4/26/12
Creature of habit I am. What is more interesting about this post is that I took these pictures with a 24mm manual focus lens! I didn’t have to stand high above on a step stool to get everything in frame as I do when I use the 50mm. A friend is letting me borrow it…
Farmers Market 4/19/12
With Will being out of town this week the fridge still has a fair amount of veggies that need to be used up so I only picked up a few things this morning. Was completely surprised to find romanesco today! Looking forward to doing something fun with this fractal patterned/fibonacci numbered broccoli/cauliflower beauty. That was…
Farmers Market 4/5/12
A day late, I know! But I did get back to the market yesterday after being gone for nearly two weeks. It really did feel like I overbought but I didn’t. Instead I ended up splurging on 3 “new to me” items. Making up for the last couple of weeks? Maybe. Satsumas Guava (possibly green…
